The author, Frederick Brotherton Meyer (1847–1929), was a contemporary and co-laborer with D. L. Moody and Charles Haddon Spurgeon. He was an English Baptist pastor who was involved in ministry and mission work both in England and in the Americas. By immersing the reader in the customs and way of life of the many people who took part in Christ's mission as well as the objects of His unfathomable love, Frederick Meyer deftly illustrates the profound content of John 13–21. His expositive instruction will have a deep impact on the readers' sense of God's omnipresent involvement and care for His children. This is a fine book for someone desiring a closer walk with the Savior, as the author presents such authentic phrasing and commentary on the love of Christ. NOTE: If one should read any review stating that the printing of the book is of poor quality, they are referring to another reprint and not this 2024 edition. Great care has been taken in the styling and format of this particular reprint.
